BTCC, one of the longest-running bitcoin exchanges in the world, has announced the re-launch of its new exchange platform.

BTCC had first announced its plans to launch an “upgraded” platform in May this year.

According to the official announcement, the new platform will offer new trading pairs (BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC/USD, ETH, BCH, LTC/BTC, etc.), new rewards point system, enhanced liquidity, quicker deposits and withdrawals, and tighter bid-offer spreads.

Further explaining the new rewards point system, BTCC revealed plans for its own token. Users will instantly receive 1,000 reward points on sign up, another 3,000 on completing the verification process, yet another 3,000 on making the first deposit, and 5,000 points on completing the first trade. It added:

“Referring users and many other activities will also provide you with opportunities to earn points. All reward points are fully convertible to BTCC tokens upon release.”

Last June, BTCC had announced a new cryptocurrency exchange – BTCC DAX – that will initially feature ETC/BTC trading pair. CoinDesk reported that this offering was suspended in December.

Earlier this year, BTCC was acquired by a Hong Kong-based blockchain investment fund. The company said at the time that it will shift its focus exclusively on the international market and its three major products — BTCC Pool, Mobi, and USD Exchange.
